Specializes in Psychiatry

Xanax (alprazolam): Antacids lower absorption of other medications, although not significantly.

It's best to discuss all your meds and supplements with your Psychiatrist who is prescribing your drugs. If you are not confident in your Doctor please see another for a second opinion.
